(THE FEDERALIST) – After refusing to carry a conservative journalist’s book in its store, one of the largest bookstores in the world is asking customers to “celebrate Banned Books Week.”
On Sept. 26 I got an email from Powell’s Books, headlined “Celebrate Banned Books Week!” Near the slogan “Books Unite Us, Censorship Divides Us,” I saw photos of books that seem to be challenged again and again by various school districts, public libraries, and even some commercial bookstores: Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five,” James Joyce’s “Ulysses,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and more of the usual suspects.
It’s quite the change of tune for Powell’s, which announced back in January that it would not carry the book “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy” by conservative journalist Andy Ngo in its store.
